SUMMARY AND EXPLANATION OF CHANGES

Mercenaries

• Swordsmen changed to Veterans and loose Expert Swordsman. The skill was very random,

and it dictated to players how they should arm their models. Good design leaves such

decisions up to the player. Therefore, they have gotten BS4 instead of Expert Swordsman.

This gives players some interesting options as they must ponder how to get the most out of

their WS4 BS4 troops that are easily lost as long as they are henchmen.

Witch Hunters

• Witch Hunter Heroes reduced from 8 to 4 starting XP. This reflects their true starting

characteristics and skill list options.

• Warrior Priest down from 40gc to 37gc. This reflects his true starting characteristics and

skill list options.

• Zealots down from 20 to 17gc.

• Wardogs up from 15 to 20gc.

• Flagellants replace buggy special rules with Immune to Psychology and Ballistic Skill 0.

• Flagellants down from Ld 10 to Ld 7. No reason to have Ld 10 as they are Immune to

Psychology anyway. This allows us to get rid of the rule where they could not become the

Leader.

• Flagellants have -1 S and +1 A the turn they charge. The game is less luck-based this way

and it allows Flagellants to gain four XP advances just like any other henchmen. Under the

old rules, they had to sink one advance into BS even though they could never use Missile

Weapons. Well no more!

Sisters of Sigmar

• Sigmarite Matriach gains two starting Prayers because she starts with 20xp and will level

slower than other casters. This is balanced by the fact that she can still only cast a single

prayer each turn.

• Sigmarite Matriach up from 70 to 75gc.

• Sister Superior down from 35 to 30gc.

• Augur has cleaned up her special rules so that it is absolutely clear what she can re-roll and

what she can’t. Instead of diffuse terms, she also gains a 4+ ward save against spells.

• Augur has no exploration skill as of the moment.

• Novices that are promoted to heroines get to choose three skill lists rather than the normal

two. Otherwise they would be completely worthless.

Undead

• Dregs down from 20 to 17gc

• Necromancer down from 8 to 6 starting XP

• Undead is now a batch rule for easy reference and so that you know what counts as

Undead and what doesn’t for the purposes of Sigmarite Hammers and Prayers/Spells.

• Dire Wovles are now Animals. In GW’s original book, they weren’t and could legally Climb

and so on.

• Dire Wolves get M7 and may now run. This avoids the old 18” charge range

• Zombies may now run. They sucked too much before. We considered giving them M3 but

even so, they would still suck too much.

• Zombies up from 15 to 20gc.

Cult of the Possessed

• Magister starts with I4 like any one Warband Leader.

• Magister gains two starting Prayers because he starts with 20xp and will level slower than

other casters. This is balanced by the fact that he can still only cast a single spell each turn.

• Magister gains Sorcery to make up for the fact that he is the only leader with only three

skill lists.

• Magister up from 70 to 75gc

• Beastmen -1 W, -1Ld, +1 M, down from 45 to 37gc

• Darksouls replace buggy Special Rules with Immune to Psychology

• Darksouls have no BS as they could never use Missile Weapons anyway

• Darksouls now have a natural 6+ armour save to reflect what their fluff says about them.

(Garbed in scales).

• Brethern -1 Ld, 23gc. Possessed have up to seven models that ignore fear and psychology.

And their stardard troops are WS3 BS3. So they need a little weakness to balance out.

• Darksouls cannot use Shields. They are supposed to be a glass cannon.

• Cannot hire Ogre Bodyguard Hired Sword. (Too much Close Combat beef in one warband.)

Skaven Clan Eshin

• Sorcerer looses access to Eshin skill list. This was unfluffy and gave him too many lists

compared to his starting XP.

• Assassin up from 60 to 85gc. He was horribly underprinced, it must have been a mistake to

price him the same as a standard human Captain when he is infinitely better.

• Assassin Adept looses Academic skills

• Black Skaven and Night Runners merged into 0-3 Night Runners. Skaven was the only

warband that could start with six heroes. Quite unfair.

• Giat Rats down from 15 to 10gc

• Rat Ogre down from 210 to 190gc

• Rat Ogre rolls on the post game chart for Heroes (so you don’t have a 33,33% chance of

loosing 190 gc like under the old rules)

• Warplock Pistol down from 35 to 30gc

• Warlplock Pistol looses extra -1 armour save (now has -2 AS total)

• Verminkin are 0-9. So Skaven will have to fill their last 5 slots with Giant Rats if they want

them. 20 xp gaining, weapon wield henchmen was simply too much and too good.

• Fighting Claws cleaned up their mess of special rules. Can now ignore Dual Wield penalties

and Parry.

• Eshin Sorcerer down from 45 to 37gc
